The group was selected by a committee of coaches, administrators and media from the all-decade first teams, Hobey Baker Award winners and All-Americans that played three years of college hockey.

The team includes four Hobey Baker Award winners – including McPhee, the league’s first winner in ’82 – along with Kip Miller (’90), Morrison (’97) and Ryan Miller (’02).

Morrison and Ryan Miller are the league’s only two-time players of the year.

Emerson is the league’s all-time leading scorer and Gagne is the all-time top scorer among CCHA defensemen.

All 12 selected were All-Americans – eight multiple All-Americans – and graduated to professional careers. Ten played in the NHL, Ryan Miller became a U.S. Olympian,and Morrow won a gold medal with the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team.

Morrow with the New York Islanders and Dowd with the New Jersey Devils have their name engraved on the Stanley Cup.
